I couldn't help trying to match up as many faces as I could between the two different group shots of Civil War soldiers. Here are the matches I came up with. Are they all correct?
Sorry, you missed my great grandfather. The younger W.E. Bagley is on the 4th row, middle of the 3 pairs, left photo with the long dark beard. The older photo of him is 3rd row down, left pair, on the right. Now quite bald but still with a long grey beard. I think I have the same group photo of the Infantry reunion.

Thanks, Jon! It makes sense. He seems to have been especially blessed in the facial hair department!
